Campus Features

The campus is home to an acclaimed Student services team and Student Success team who will equip you with the information you need about all aspects of University life and study to prepare you for your future career.
The BA (Hons) Childhood Studies course supports students with relevant prior study to deepen their knowledge of childhood, education, wellbeing and professional practice.
The BA (Hons) Social Work course leads to a professional social work qualification, combining campus-based learning with two substantial practice placements.
The relaxed, friendly atmosphere of the UWS Dumfries Campus extends into Dumfries itself. It is a safe town which is well served by public transport with easy access to the campus by foot, car or bus from the town centre.
With a population of 38,000, Dumfries provides all the amenities of a city, but on a smaller scale. Restaurants, pubs and clubs are plentiful, entertainment options include sports and health clubs and cinemas, as well as high street and independent shops. The cost of living is also relatively low – a night out in Dumfries will cost you considerably less than a night out in the city and the search for accommodation in town, if you need it, will present very few problems.
